-Images captured from bing.com/maps - birds eye view.
-Images must be captured using print screen and cropped in Picasa 3.
-Tilt shift images made at tiltshiftmaker.com.
The assignment is to learn how to make a miniature model scene of familar places which is called tilt shift photography.

STEP 2: Capturing the image (say cheese).
In most all computers you have the abililty to take a snapshot of whatever the screen displays by pressing the "prt scrn" key which is to the right of the "f12" key in the top right of the keyboard.
Once it has taken the picture it has the picture in the clipboard you need to put (paste) the picture into an image editing program (like GIMP, Photoshop, Paint, Inkscape, or today we will be using Picasa 3).
1. Launch the application Picasa 3 (start > programs > Picasa 3...) get past all the startup popups.
2. Go to the Bing Birds Eye View and press the prt scrn key, you should see Picasa 3 automatically get and import your screen capture for you.
3. In Picasa 3, locate the screen capture, use the Crop tool to keep only the image part of the screen, not all the extra browser buttons and stuff.
4. In Picasa 3, File > Save As, location desktop.*
*If you wanted to keep the file for another day you could save it to your Y drive, but because it is not yet completed, saving to to the desktop and letting it auto-delete as you logoff is fine.
STEP 3: Make it at tiltshiftmaker.com
Follow the directions provided on the website.
Remember to "get full size" and then "click here to download" and save the file to your Y drive.
REMEMBER
SAVE YOUR WORK OFTEN, CROP THE IMAGES TO THE BIGGEST SIZE YOU CAN WHILE NOT SHOWING WEBSITE STUFF, WHEN YOU NEED HELP ASK(raise your hand) but FIRST re-read the assignment guidelines.
